I KNOW IT NOW.

Iheard her, Oh how cautiously,
Open my bedroom door;
heard her step as noiseleSsly
To my couch across the floor;
felt her hands my temples press.
Her lips just touching mine,
And, in my anguish and distress,
'Twere sinful 10 repine.
Our pilgrimage Is nearly through
We've passed life's mountain brow;
thought loved her years ago

Her face was lowering over mine,
Her warm tears on my cheek;
Her whispered prayer, OF thought divine
Rose feryently and meek.
Her bosom rested on my arm,
felt its tremulous throe;
knew the cause OF its alarm,
And felt its source OF woe.
And the blood my system through
Came pressing on my brow

Thus watched that tried and patient one,
by night as well as day
In sadness and almost alone,
Till weeks had passed away.
Bereft OF sleep-deprived OF rest
Oppressed-borne down with care,
Till, oh her labor has been blest,
For God has heard her prayer.
Her cheek resumes it. genteel glow
And placid is her brow
thought loved her years ago,
know love her now.

he went to Madison.

AC well w Mdu16OLs
The run from Milwaukee to Madison
was charming. 1t was through a lake and
hill country, whose lands are as fertile as
those OF Italy: The villages along the
way sped the passing train with
their cheers, and in several instances
stations and streets were adorned with
evergreens and steamers.
The arrival at Madison was made upon
time. The party was accorded an enthus-
iastic reception at the capitol, where tho
welcoming address was made by Judge Cole,
chief justice OF Wisconsin,. In reply Presi-
dent Cleveland highly complimented the
beauty OF Madison, where he proposed to

The opening meeting in the morning was
held at the Washington Rink, which holds
1000 people. MIR. John p. McGaughey
presided. Mayor Ames and a number OF
the distinguished members OF the conven-

McGlaughey called upon Mayor Ames to

al and characteristic.
Mr.. Richard Griffiths OF Chicago, a vet
worker in the order, in appropri.
ate terms acknowledged the warm recep-
ton that had been rendered the delegates
and the kind greetings Of the mayor. Mr..
A. A. Carleton OF Massachusetts,, a member
OF the general executive board also spoke.
Mr.. Ralph Beaumont, one OF the most
distinguished members OF the order, was
next called upon. He spoke with great
ease and elegance. lie made some very
graceful and we'll turned illusions to Min
neapolis. He referred to the various
stages OF success and dependency in the
history Of the order and asserted that if
this organization goes down it will only
DO to give place to another mightier than
this, for as long as injustice remains in the
land the struggle will be maintained.
The next speaker was Mr.. Richard Trev.
ellich, one Of the most powerful speakers
in the order. A synopsis of his remarks
would give a faint idea OF their impressive.
ness. In conclusion he said: "We come
here with the olive branch OF peace in our
hands. Let no act Of yours bring disgrace
upon the great body. Let your words and
proceedings have in them wisdom and dig
nifty, be a worthy example even for the
great congress OF our country."-
At the evening meeting some $1,000 per-
IONS were present. Mr.. McGaughey pre-
sided.
Richard Travellick OF Detroit was called
to the front. His address was a powerful
and eloquent explanation OF the mission
OF the Knights OF Labor.

Geo. Alfred Townsend, when in
Scotland RECENTLY, visited the estate
of the Duke of Burcleuch at Dalkeith.
The Duke of Buccleuch is considered
the richest man in Scotland. In spite
of this fact, however, he is somstimes
hard up for money. He has an
income OF about 81, 500, 900 a year,
but has five establishments to keep
up and SO many poor relations, r Q
tainers, pensioners, &c., that this
enormous amount of money quickly
disappears under the great sponging

GRAND MASTER PowDERLY.


When Mr.. Powderly came forward to
speak the cheering was deafening.
The speaker mad q strong appeal to
his hearers to advance and take the sta
ton in the world which belongs to them
by right and which they are so competent
to fill. He expressed his confidence in the
right and justice OF the principles which I'M
derlie the order, and his unabated courage
in it's future. All the opposition and all
the abuse he had received had not changed
him in the least. And then he had a good
word for the kickers.
Mr.. Powderly predicted a time when all
woaking men would be organized under one
head and lead against one common foe.
He made a touching %allusion to Thomas
A. Armstrong, of the Pittsburg Labor
Tribune, whose death was announced Sun
day evening.
At the close OF Mr.. Powderly's address
resolutions %eulogistic OF Mr.. Armstrong
were adopted.
President A. J.. Streeter, OF the National
Farmers alliance, made an interesting ad-
dress on the subject. 'The People; Their
Government" He said that while he did
not take the character of the chronic
grumbler, still it fell to him to show up
some OF the evils of the times. He referred
of the farmers OF Illinois, his own state.
"They are overwhelmed by debt" he said,
land the prospects OF paying their debts
are pg2r."
On Tuesday there were numerous ar
rivals OF belated Knights. The first and
only matter taken up during the day was
the report Of the committee on credentials.
The report occupied the morning and aft
